Happily Ever After - Kiera Cass

 Happily Ever After - Keria Cass


This book Happily Ever After is a follow up to a series I read, actually I have read it twice now, and I couldn’t wait to crack open the cover and see a new point of view on some of my favorite characters and even some of the characters I loved to hate in the series. With that being said I would not start this series with this book as it will be a major spoiler to the whole series that are individually amazing in and of themselves.  So, if you would like to read these I would recommend you read them in order The Selection, The Elite, The Prince and The Guard, The One, and The Heir.

Keria Cass has a way of pulling the reader in with the first pages of each of her books.  If you don’t believe me sneak to the back of this book and read the special preview of Siren and tell me if that doesn’t make you want to be at your local book store the day it comes out!  Shoot if you are local we can go together!

These are very quick reads but leave you craving more so with this latest addition to the series I feel as if I am now fully satisfied with everything in the books and all the unanswered questions I had been left with from first reading The Selection are now answered. It also has inspired me to go back and read the whole series from the beginning again but with new eyes after this.

Learning more about Amberly and King Clarkson from the time of his selection gives new perspective on not just their relationship throughout the books but also some of their behavior during their son Prince Maxon’s selection.  Reading more about Marlee’s love story during her time in the selection was something I had always craved to know more about during the adventure of it all. I also liked that it gave you a “Where are they now?” glimpse at the girls who didn’t win and how their lives ended up after they left the palace for good.  As if you could maybe run into them at the local coffee shop and catch up with them like you are long lost friends.

I think what I love most about this series is that there isn’t just one loves story in it but many that all intertwine in the most amazing of ways.  When I read books I feel as though I become their characters I am reading about, that I am there living the ups and downs with them.  That is why when I saw this update of sorts I couldn’t wait to escape back into the mind set of these people because you will see they are easy to love or easy to hate.  You can imagine the world they are living in and see even in the most bizarre of ways how it fits into our world today.

I highly recommend you give this series and book a try, and when you do tell me what you think.  I can't wait to hear your thoughts! 


Until next time…

Hi again my friends. I am lucky enough to have time at night to partake in one of my favorite past times.  Reading.  I love immersing myself into a new set of characters and going on whatever adventure awaits them in each book and I often do this when the kids have gone to bed.  I think it is my release at the end of a long day and I am often known to stay up way to late reading my latest choice and I thought to myself as I finished up my second book in a week and half "Hey, I should keep a list of the books I read and share it on my blog." I have many friends and family who love books as much as I do and I have also seen several friends asking "What should I read next?" on various social media sites.  So why not offer a section here on book I have read and maybe it will inspire someone to try one of them even if it is something they don’t normally gravitate towards.

I will be setting up a page linked to the top as a go to spot that will link to any and all book reviews I complete on here.  It should be said that I am not being compensated for any of this I am just choosing to share my thoughts with you lovely folks.

Also, I read mostly fiction based books and occasionally will throw in a non-fiction if it really calls to me.  I hope you enjoy this new feature on Bushel of Sweet Peas and let me know if there are any books you think I might enjoy! 

Until next time my friends!

As mother's we all have those days that we feel we have failed, that we are horrible moms, that our kids will grow up and hate us. ...
